GIANTS LOSE ANOTHER KICKER TO INJURY…
The New York Giants have placed their third place kicker on in injured list. Cade York, who was set to kick for the team on Monday, suffered a quad injury in practice on Thursday and was placed on the Practice Squad/Injured List on Friday. Graham Gano (knee) was placed on Injured Reserve in November and Randy Bullock (hamstring) was placed on Injured Reserve on Thursday.

Because of the loss of York, the Giants signed Mason Crosby to the Practice Squad on Friday. The 39-year old, 6’1”, 212-pound Crosby was originally drafted in the 6th round of the 2007 NFL Draft by the Green Bay Packers. Crosby spent 16 seasons in Green Bay from 2007 to 2022. His career field goal average is 81.4 percent.
